SOM ( System on Module )

Accelerated System Design using FPGA Based System-On-Modules (SOM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "System-On-Module (SOM)

For companies designing or redesigning an Embedded Systems product there is the tendency to utilize as many third-party components as possible for functions that are well-understood and readily available in the marketplace[citation needed]. This is a direct result of the increasing commoditization of advanced functionalities in the electronic component market. This paradigm is what makes companies use prepackaged power-modules for example, thereby avoiding the complexity and cost of designing 'in house'. A plethora of vendors supply ready built units with all the functionality required (except for specific or niche applications). Thus, it makes no sense for a company to design its own hardware when it has the choice of buying fully-tested, reliable products at lowere cost.[neutrality disputed]"
